OBITUARY

Died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Brown, four miles 
northeast of town, Friday, November 24, their daughter, Anita Mae, age 3 
years, two months and 17 days.

A brief funeral service was held at the home Sunday afternoon, conducted by 
Rev. Ethridge of Apache.  Many of the relatives and friends of the sorrowing 
family were present, and as they looked upon the sweet placid little body in 
its white casket and surrounded by beautiful and fragrant flowers - yet not 
more beautiful or pure than the little face within - their hearts swelled in 
sympathy for the bereaved family.  But let us not think of little Anita Mae 
as dead, but as living; not as a flower that has withered, but as one 
transplanted, and touched by a Divine hand, is blooming in richer color and 
sweeter fragrance than those of earth.

There is no death?  The stars
go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
